Sony’s newest flagship smartphone, the Xperia XZ1, has been
available in the US
since September. Back then, the handset was offered for $699 – a price that may
have put some customers off. Now, for a limited time, the Sony Xperia XZ1 can
be bought for $549 – the lowest price we’ve seen to date.

Focus Camera is the place where the Xperia XZ1 is sold for
$549. This is the official US
version of the phone, so it comes with 1-year warranty and works on carriers
like AT&T and T-Mobile (but not on Verizon and Sprint). Focus Camera is even
throwing in a free $50 Gift Card that’s redeemable …

Compact – one of the world’s first smartphones to run Android 8 Oreo out of the

Amazon is currently offering the Xperia XZ1 Compact starting
at $504.99 – $95 off the phone’s launch price ($599.99). Only the black version
of the XZ1 Compact is available for $504.99, while the other three color
verstions – pink, blue, silver – cost $549.99.

Best Buy is discounting the Xperia XZ1 Compact, too, selling
the phone for $549.99, regardless of color. Best Buy is throwing in a $50 gift

apparently includes “HTC swag just for you.”

Other two smartphones that will be offered for less money are
the HTC U Ultra – $449 instead of the current $499 price – and the
Sprint-exclusive HTC Bolt – $400 instead of $500. Furthermore, if you’re buying
